  • Ensure that externally driven requests are evaluated against platform reuse, scalability, and long-term roadmap alignment.

Roadmap & Execution

  • Work closely with Engineering to plan, refine, and execute product initiatives, participating in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and reviews.
  • Track delivery progress, dependencies, and risks across multiple customers and initiatives, proactively driving resolution.

Delivery & Coordination

  • Coordinate cross-functional execution across Engineering, Design, Data, and Operations.
  • Manage timelines, milestones, and scope across parallel workstreams, ensuring predictable delivery and high-quality outcomes.
  • Support release planning, documentation, and customer-facing enablement where required.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage multiple stakeholders and customer engagements simultaneously.
  • Experience writing clear product requirements and working directly with engineering teams.
  • Strong organizational skills and comfort with project tracking, prioritization, and execution.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in fast-growing or ambiguous environments.

What We Look For

  • A pragmatic product thinker who can balance customer urgency with long-term product strategy.
  • Someone comfortable being externally visible while maintaining internal discipline.

  • High ownership mindset with a bias toward action and execution.
